Explanation:

Michael purchased camping equipment and used a coupon that gave him 25% off the total. He paid $235. What was the price of the equipment before the discount?

To solve this, we will first find 25% of $235 and then add it to $235

25% of $235 = 25/100 ×$235

=$5875/100

=$58.75

The original price before the discount was $235 + $58.75 =$293.75
